Maersk to open East Midlands hub in June

[ April 4, 2023   //   ]

AP Moller-Maersk has signed a lease for a 685,000sq ft (63,000sq m) warehouse at SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway.

The facility will be completed in June 2023 and is part of a 700-acre development by SEGRO. It includes the UK’s only inland freeport and a 50-acre rail freight interchange with direct rail links to Felixstowe, London Gateway and Southampton.

Maersk’s warehouse meets low or very low emissions and will incorporate a full roof mounted solar array and makes extensive use of recycled construction materials.

Provision will also be made for the operation of a fully electric fleet of HGVs that will manage all internal traffic between the rail terminal, the warehouse and the depot and deliveries to nearby customers.

Maersk already operates UK logistics sites in Doncaster, Tamworth and in Kettering.
